Internal-external boundary attention fusion for glass surface segmentation.

Detecting transparent objects and mirrors in an image is a highly challenging task because their glass surfaces contain the visual appearance of other transmitted or reflected objects. In this work, we highlight the importance of exploiting the transition region between glass and non-glass surfaces, which is called boundary. In other words, we exploit the visual appearances of the transition regio...

Incremental transfer learning based on temporal-frequency convolution interaction for multi-task prediction of wind speed and wind power.

In the domain of wind energy, predicting wind speed and power is a challenging and important task, yet they are closely intertwined. However, the temporal heterogeneity of wind speed and power time series, coupled with their time-varying statistical properties, limits the accuracy of the prediction model. To address this, an incremental transfer learning framework was proposed to perform multi-tas...
